Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructureRip RapMe and my son went out on the river and got on a top water bite. He was throwing the choppo in the sexy shad color and I was throwing the shower blow in bone color. We we throwing them up as close to the rip rap as you could and sometimes they would hit it before you had a chance to move it. Was a good time until one came off at the boat while I was trying to net it, let me just say the Berkeley hooks are sharp!

If you are looking for a reel that slings truly finesse baits like I was look no further than the Shimano MGL 70! This is a smooth reel and had no issue flipping a 1/10 oz finesse jig and plastic for smallies! Highly recommend.

Ca't go wrong with a jerkbait in the early spring, and this shadow wrap has FANTASTIC action that the smallies could not resist!

Bought this rod because I’ve never fished a Duckett. I was massively surprised at how sensitive it was, which worked great since I was dragging a finesse plastic on an EWG ned head. I highly recommend this rod for its price point!

Largemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonFallStructureRiver ChannelsThis bait KILLS in cold water. Caught 15 fish in 90 mins popping this along the main channel. Best part is I only needed to use one bait for all 15-now THAT is durability!
